> AirPods Max are available to order starting today for $549 (US) from apple.com and in the Apple Store app in the US and more than 25 other countries and regions. AirPods Max will begin shipping on Tuesday, December 15. Edit: After AppleCare, optional 3.5mm cable, and tax, it comes out to just over $700 USD.

"Hey, cool, something not in-ear, this could be just what I was looking for." See's price: Nope... I'll stick with what I've got for now. Those are some of the most expensive headphones I've ever seen and I thought Bose's QC3's at $350 were overpriced. This kicks it up a notch further. I'll be curious what the reviews show for sure, but too rich for my blood.

No kidding. I've got a pair of really nice Klipsch bluetooth headphones that I only paid $249 for. I don't see how these can be $300 better.

Including the Digital Crown from the Apple Watch demonstrates the power of Apple designing their hardware in house and amortizing new components over many products.

I thought these looked familiar, but it was just the metal frame reminding me of jabra elite/ evolve.

Usually when apple creates a new product they are very careful to give it a distinct look that is immediately identifiable from competitor products.

Entirely off-topic: Looking forward to seeing people who make 1/3 of what I make (and my salary is pretty average) telling me they are a winner because they snagged one of these babies on release day. We are so easily fooled...

You should hang around head-fi sometime if you think these are expensive...
